Manicheanism

From Metapedia

Manicheanism is old world religion which tried to combine Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and Christianity in one doctrine. It was founded by a Persian named Mani, who was a Gnostic monk and later decided to combine all known to him religions into one and the most full religion. Manicheanism was widely spread in the world, especially in the old Siberia where it was official religion in old Siberian Turkic states. From this white people states Manicheanism spread to China, but when Mongols had destroyed states of the white Siberian Turks the religion began to degrade, but it has big influence to the Siberian Shamanism and Burhanism.

There is some attempts to revive Manicheanism both in Siberia and USA now, for example leader of Siberian Freedom movement Yaroslav Zolotaryov is know by his article "Manichean perspectives of Siberia".
